Fruit flies come from the eggs laid by other fruit flies, and they are mostly attracted to over-ripe fruit due to its high sugar content. Explore the fruit fly, and get rid of rotting fruit to rid the house of fruit flies, with information from a high school biology teacher in this free video on insects.

  • Every time i see a fruit fly, i catch a few in a container and squish them softly with a cotton stick, after they're dead i prepare my stove and put some vegetable oil and butter, I put the fruit flyes in the pan with vegetable oil and butter and cook them till theyre fried and sprinkle them on spaghetti. :)

  • do they come in from outside or did they hatch from the fruit?

  • that doesn't answer the question actually. How do the eggs get there?

  • ya but,,,,,,,where do fruit flies come from?

  • @BIGTIMPif Shes not even that bad though shes cute XD

  • @Strawberryfreakout5 fruit flies like dumps

  • seriously WHERE do they come from the fruit itself?? They just seem to appear out of nowhere when I have just brought some into the house from the grocery store....wth

  • my teacher said they come from the trash!!! like they r made from trash!

  • yeah but do they hatch from already laid eggs in the fruit? cuz they just show up out of nowhere, even when the windows are closed, it seems - or do they come in through the cracks of (closed) windows smelling the fruit from outside?
